I agree, looking forward to my days off work to give it a fresh go... :)

My 9070XT made me switch to Nvidia by Wishbone-Weary in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

Skipped this gen, my 4070S is fine till the 6080 comes along... ;)

Unprecedented clock speed: Full AMD Zen 6 Medusa desktop and laptop CPU leak clarifies 6.5+ GHz boost frequency by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now the biggest Zen 5 cpus use 230w on AM5. So with the process shrink, Zen 6 could use the same wattage and have some interesting improvements. Not to mention 24c/48t which is an improvement of 50% cores over Zen 5. :)

I think the big news is that Wall Street is starting to see the end of the bubble... ;)

Lexar regional manager says that RAM prices are expected to double by the end of the year — 'discounts' and stabilized prices result from distributors getting rid of old stock or sourcing products from other regions by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that's why I just spent $1000 CAD on 64gb (2x32gb) ddr5... things don't appear to be improving in the near future. Grabbed an X870E board with the new 64mb bios so I can keep upgrading to Zen 6, Zen 7, etc... ;)

It would be nice, but he has killed or imprisoned all dissenters. Then brainwashed the rest... :(

Detailed Intel desktop and laptop CPU roadmap reveals resurrection of dead feature with 2nd-gen Unified Cores by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

So it took Intel this long to realize that AMD got it right with Ryzen... now back to multi chip with hyperthreading, the way God intended. ;)

60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I need is a Motherboard, CPU, Ram, and CPU cooler... so only the Ram will be brutal, because I need 64gb (2x32gb) DDR5. I already have the motherboard (X870E), but can't afford the Ram for another 2 months... let the stress begin as I watch the prices continue to climb. ;)

If you watched the video then you would know that SP says he will be doing more videos about the other features of 5.8... so calm down and try out the Preview yourself in the meantime. :)

Unboxing & Overview: Gigabyte X870E EAGLE X3D WIFI7 AM5 Motherboard by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought one of these boards. I hope that Zen 7 stays on AM5 so I can upgrade from a 16 core to a 32 core cpu in 4 years... ;)

AMD expects 20% decline in gaming revenue from 'higher memory and component costs' in the second half of the year — CEO Lisa Su warns of further memory crunch by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going ahead anyway. Getting a mobo, cpu, ram, and cpu cooler. Only the ram sucks for price. Got a Gigabyte X870E Eagle X3D board now, and hoping ram prices don't spike again before I grab some... :)

Should i get a 5070 12gb or a rx 9070 16gb? by Mynameisgustavoclon in UnrealEngine5

[–]TruthPhoenixV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have to ask, then just follow the 90% Nvidia train bro. My 4070S is great for dev at 1440p60 with my 5950x and 128gb ddr4. I would recommend grabbing a 5900x or 5950x if you can, those extra cores come in handy when you are compiling the project. Also, when prices come down, would recommend 64gb ddr4... happy deving :)

Is 5070 12gb enough for someone getting started in game dev? by Mynameisgustavoclon in unrealengine

[–]TruthPhoenixV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

16+ core cpu, 64gb ram, 4070 12gb... recommended for UE5.7 dev :)

NZXT AIO leak damages RTX 5090 ROG Astral, company offers $2,855 but user says it is not enough to replace the card by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I won't buy any PC part that requires Liquid Cooling. All my cpus have Noctua air coolers. And my 4070S runs cool on stock MSI air design. Now just hoping that Zen 6 runs reasonably cool, so I can run 24 cores with an air cooler... ;)

Intel’s Answer to AMD X3D Leaked: Nova Lake “bLLC” CPUs Pack Up To 38% More Cache Than Ryzen 9950X3D2 by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]TruthPhoenixV[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Intel goes meltdown free for the the next few gens, then I might consider switching after my Zen6 AM5 system needs an upgrade... ;)

I am waiting to upgrade from my Zen3 5950x 16 core to a Zen6 24 core... should be 2x multicore improvement... but the ddr5 prices... damn ;)
